Florida Spring Training 2018 - Day 40

The Phillies played the Toronto Blue Jays today. They lost 6-4 but didn't  have all their main players as they were also playing another game against the Detroit Tigers in Lakeland.  The weather was warmer today (74 degrees) but still a little breezy. 



After the game we headed over to Safety Harbor again.  We wanted to have pizza at a neat little pizza place we have visited in previous spring training trips.  The restaurant, Pizza Greogario, is essentially a converted house.  They only serve pizza and salad with the pizza menu tending to be a little on the "healthy" side with lots of natural ingredients and different combinations.  The crust is outstanding as were the two individual pizzas we ordered.  What also makes the restaurant somewhat unique is that you order the pizza at one end of the room the person taking the order attaches the order to a clip and sends it along a zip line to the person making the pizza and baking it in the brick oven at the other end of the room.  You also get a large playing card clipped to a stand to place on your table so they know where to bring your pizza when it is ready.

After dinner we walked along Main Street for awhile.  A street fair was in progress, "Third Friday".  There were vendors, food booths, street entertainers and a band playing at the park in the city square.  It seems there is always something going on in this little town.


After a coffee at Starbucks we headed back to the RV park after another enjoyable day (except for the Phillies losing the ball game).

Tomorrow is St. Patricks Day at the ball park.  They are expecting a full house plus and it will be very crowded.  It is always a fun time however despite the crowds.  After the game we are going over to Dunedin for their annual St. Patricks Day celebration and dinner.
